I’m not a big fan of Network Television. I will watch an hour or two a week for shear entertainment value – but I can’t remember the last time I saw even a minute of Network News. It’s been years. I’d rather listen to an audio book, participate in a webinar or conference call or find a home study course to feed my mind as I continue to learn and grow. The only exception I make in arranging my schedule is during Football season, and that can turn into an entire day, typically on Sunday when I’m taking a break anyway.

Hey – I’ve been a Football fan all my life and this old dog ain’t about to turn a new trick when it comes to my Pittsburgh Steelers.

A show that I do have an interest in however airs on NBC tonight – the first of six primetime episodes entitled Breakthrough with Tony Robbins. It’s reality TV with a twist – it’s designed to inspire and enlighten you which is typical Robbins.

Some of the oldest tapes I have in my library (which should tell you how long I’ve been of fan) are from Tony Robbins. He’s one of the earliest mentors I can think of for personal development and self-improvement. In an effort to reach and positively impact even more people, Tony Robbins has created 6 one-hour primetime television specials that begin airing on NBC starting this Tuesday, July 27th at 8 p.m., 7 Central. They will run every Tuesday evening for the next six Tuesdays including tonight.

I applaud Tony for putting something positive out there in the main stream media. One of the reasons I haven’t watched a network news program in years is because it’s so negative. This person killed here – that robbery there – and the economy as always – in the toilet. If you really think about it – do you really need to know how many murders and robberies there are?

If something is important enough that you need to know – it’s going to make it’s rounds in one form or another. I certainly don’t need to go looking for it.

Tony has always been different. He’s offered tools and insights to improve people’s lives. If you’re a follower of Tony like I am, you’re going to want to tell friends, clients, family or anyone you care for about this show. Some will thank you – others will ignore you – while I’m sure there will be others that scorn you for telling them. (If that’s the case – maybe you need to reconsider who you call “friends”.)

Here’s a little bit about the show that came through an e-mail from Chet Holmes (more on Chet latter):

After more than a dozen offers and years of turning away producers and networks, Tony finally found a format that appealed to him and one that can really impact you, your friends, family and clients.

I was in the studio audience for segments of some of these shows, and there was not a dry eye in the house. You will be inspired, moved, motivated and profoundly affected. I mean this first episode is a knockout. Imagine you’re on your honeymoon and jump in the pool and hit your head on a step and, wham, you’re a quadriplegic for life.

That doesn’t just affect you. It seriously impacts your loved ones. In the very first episode, Tony shows you that “the story” you tell yourself shapes the entire quality of your life. Powerful. You have to see it.

But wait! There’s more! (I’ve always wanted to say that for some reason.)

Tony and Chet built a program called: Four Ways to Double Sales in 12 months. Because your reading this – you’ll be able to download that program as well. Even in this bad economic period, all four of these ideas help dramatically strengthen any company and give you paths to serious success.

Chet offered the free training in the e-mail —a 90 minute program from Chet Holmes and Tony Robbins absolutely free. (And no registration or e-mail required either.) You can download it here.

For more information and insight into tonight’s powerful new show, you can read more about it and watch a couple more videos @ www.breakthroughinsider.com. Everyone in the personal development and marketing world that I communicate with is talking about it. (About two dozen e-mails yesterday.)

Personally – knowing what Tony is all about and how he’s transformed lives – I can’t wait.

People ask me all the time how I can stay so optimistic and calm when there is so much negativity going on. Most of it comes from experience and the way my life has always been. Albert Einstein wrote in his book The World As I See It, “The most important decision we ever make is whether we believe we live in a friendly universe or a hostile universe.”

Living in a friendly universe doesn’t mean I don’t have problems that can not only come out of nowhere, but upset the apple cart. The trick is dealing with and resolving pressing problems and issues in a healthy manor. While I could write a book about it, I’d rather leave it to someone who already has. Besides, Brian Tracy’s experience and expertise in the field far exceed my own. I’ve read many of Brian’s books and while I’m still far from perfect, he’s a big reason I am who I am today.

When I saw this come in via e-mail, I thought of all the people who are in their own “Crunch Point” right now, and wanted to offer this as a possible solution to help break through those unexpected problems and obstacles that come our way.

Here’s what he said about Crunch Point. (And if it resonates with you, like it did me, there’s a link to buy the package at the end.)

Crunch Point

It’s like things that go bump in the night. Only in this case it’s about things that go bump in your life.

No matter what you do, unexpected problems are sure to pop up. One minute things are rolling along smoothly then BAM! All hell breaks loose.

The economy is kicking you below the belt. You just lost your job. It’s not fair! You’ve worked hard yet things just seem to happen when you least expect it.

Unexpected personal and financial problems can hit you or your business at any time. Suddenly you find yourself up against the wall. You feel like you went from 100 to 0 miles per hour in sixty seconds.

Now you’re in a crunch.

What you do next is vital if you want to survive your challenge. You can freak out. Cop out…Or face it head-on in a cool, relaxed and stress-free way. The choice is yours.

When I first started out in business, I faced many challenges. Not all of them were expected. What seemed overwhelming at first gradually became less severe as I learned how to deal with each situation effectively.

Sometimes it seems like challenges come rapid fire one after the other. Just remember none of these problems are your fault. Life happens to all of us.

After years of putting out fires and coping with unexpected crises, I developed a system for dealing with the inevitable life and business emergencies we all face.

During this time I created Crunch Point as a way to help me cope with these annoying situations. Now you can benefit from my experience. You don’t have to do it alone.

Remember it’s not the situation; its how you perceive it and more importantly how you deal with it. If you let it get to you emotionally it can eat you alive. Your personal power comes from controlling your response.

Sure it sounds easy to say but you and I know it sure doesn’t feel that way.

In my book Crunch Point I give you 21 proven ways to overcome any crazy situation you may be facing. Personal or financial it doesn’t matter. You will be in control of things now.

Imagine yourself:

• Taking control of any situation–You are in charge, feel the power

• Developing unshakeable confidence and courage–You are unstoppable

Whatever inevitable and unexpected problems may arise in your future you’ll be ready. Why waste your valuable time trying to figure it out on your own? These proven techniques have worked for me and they will work for you. I guarantee it.

The best part is you can start right now…

I’m making a limited number of my Crunch Point book available to you, my valued reader.
